Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon South Australia 2016

2016 Penfolds • Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 707 Rating 98   WA Release Price $500 Drink Date 2020 - 2040 Reviewed by  Joe Czerwinski Issue Date 4th Oct 2018 Source October 2018 Penfolds New Releases, The Wine Advocate Aged in American oak, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 707 stands out for its bold aromas of vanilla, tobacco and cassis. This year, it's close to 40% each from Coonawarra and McLaren Vale, with smaller proportions from Barossa Valley and the Adelaide Hills. It's full-bodied and rich, with a velvety mouthfeel, great intensity and super length. Yes, it's embryonic, but it's not unapproachable, much like any other high-quality New World Cabernet these days, with the ability to age for two decades or more.
